Just came across something kinda crazy ? this forum has some interesting info

http://forum.roadsmart.com.au/index.php?showtopic=70

but seriously when was the last time you saw Kia with 8 people in it doing 170kph? without jet engines on the roof? :(

ALBURY : About 5.40pm yesterday, a 25-year-old Melbourne man detected on Hume Highway at Kyeamba driving a Kia Carnival at 170kph in a 110 kph area. At the time of the alleged incident there were eight people in the vehicle. The driver was charged with exceed speed by over 45km/h and an on-the-spot suspension notice was issued removing his driving privileges in NSW

Anyone know where i can pick up one of these? The right ones fuxed so need a new one. Hoping you can pick up these as is (by itself) with wiring. Got the clear LED tail lights in as the right one is completely stuffed and none of the lights work on it, people were starting to complain about me turning right with no indicator. Want this asap as the LEDs look s**thouse on my car :(

Good news: sold my GSXR race bike last night for cash $$$. Now I gotta find another race bike.

Bad news: a riding mate crashed last night up top of Greenhill Road going to Lofty. We just came down that road and I recommended we take another route to Windy, as the roads were covered in shit, but half the guys wanted to go back the way we came. He lost the front end and hit a guard rail. Bike is totalled, and he is banged up a fair bit with an obvious broken collarbone and last I heard, they were doing xrays to check for further injuries.

:P

Good news: I didn't crash! :(

hey ruby good news about the sale but a shame about your friend, i cringe hearing of people coming of their bikes... hence why i sold mine. had a close friend who recently got ran off the road and ended up with the peg thru his leg. scary stuff! hope he makes a full recovery and gets back on the horse!

hahaha no probs Pete

havnt got the picture of your ban stick off my phone yet i can only bluetooth and havnt installed the software yet

that sux the hear Damo why do people have to lie when selling cars you still would of bought it splitfires or not

i was told mine came with splitfires, on closer inspection there are stock coilpacks in the engine and another set of stockies in a splitfire box :P

look on the bright side at least u have two sets of coil packs ;)

anyone know a place that will take cars away and give u cash for them??

and how much do they give u? $200?

need to get rid of the datto as its just sitting there...

i'll give ya $200 for it ;)

Finally I have a running car again, well apart from my daily driver. Gone back to the factory exhaust manifold for the time being while I try and find a decent aftermarket one. problem in now the exhaust doesn't line up with the dump as the dump I had for the old manifold was moded to fit for that manifold.

I actually think the factory one doesn't look to bad;

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
